How to properly place new employees

1. Put 400 bricks in a closed room.

2. Put your new hires in the room and close the door.

3. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours.

4. Then analyze the situation:


* A. If they are counting the bricks, put them in the Accounting Department.

* B. If they are recounting them, put them in Auditing.

* C. If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks, put them in Engineering.

* D. If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order, put them In Planning.

* E. If they are throwing the bricks at each other, put them in Operations.

* F. If they are sleeping, put them in Security.

* G. If they have broken the bricks into pieces, put them in Information Technology.

* H. If they are sitting idle, put them in Human Resources.

* I. If they say they have tried different combinations, they are looking for more, yet not a brick has been moved, put them in Sales.

* J. If they have already left for the day, put them in Management.

* K. If they are staring out of the window, put them in Strategic Planning.

* L. If they are talking to each other, and not a single brick has been moved, congratulate them and put them in Top Management.

* M. Finally, if they have surrounded themselves with bricks in such a way that they can neither be seen nor heard from, put them in Congress.
